Two desperate rivals fight for their livelihoods-and possibly, their lives-in this "absorbing tale of one man's downfall-piece by piece" (Joan Livingston, author of the Isabel Long mysteries).
Mike Harper hates his job and is on edge who hates his job. But with a pregnant wife and bills piling up, he must fight to keep his position while struggling to stay afloat.
So when he learns his career is in jeopardy, and is forced to go up against his obnoxious boss, Tom, to secure his family's future, Mike has no option but to battle for survival. One of them has to go.
Tom has few friends and even fewer prospects, but the aging veteran has never gone down without a fight. Now, with his health failing and his marriage falling apart, Tom is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his job.
As the men face off, the stakes could not be higher. But it could all end in tears. Or in murder...
